Doctor Zimmerman is an assistant professor at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center who focuses on understanding the role of immune cells in polycystic kidney and liver disease(PKD). The goal of this research is to develop new approaches and targets for treatment of patients suffering from PKD.
Isaac Chan, M.D. Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Internal Medicine at UT Southwestern Medical Center and a member of its Division of Hematology Oncology. He specializes in immunotherapy, breast cancer, and metastatic cancer.
During his MD/PhD training at University of North Carolina and medical oncology fellowship at Johns Hopkins University.
Dr. Mikhail Dozmorov is an associate professor in the Biostatistics department, Virginia Commonwealth University. He develops statistical methods and bioinformatics tools for the integrative analysis of genomics datasets.
Through collaborations with basic and clinical cancer researchers, he analyzed and interpret RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, DNA methylation, single-cell sequencing data. He is developing biostatistical methods and software to analyze the three-dimensional structure of the genome obtained with Chromatin Conformation Capture sequencing technologies (e.g., Hi-C).
Precision Medicine advocates for the practice of customized disease treatment and prevention such that all clinical decisions are made based on the characteristics of individual patients.
During this session we'll showcase the latest research developments in the areas of applying advanced Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning and Big Data informatics in precision medicine.
